Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Take a glimpse at our 7th grade science classroom! In our 7th grade classroom we celebrate our diversity and learn from our differences. After a year of distances learning, our students enjoy safely collaborating with each other during class time! We value learning through projects and integration of other subjects in science.

Our young students have been so resilient throughout the pandemic and have demonstrated an increase of self-regulation through hands-on and creative projects.

As a first year teacher, I would love to give my students the tool they need to excel both academically and socially. We would love to welcome you to our science family!

My Project

As a first year teacher, I am building my classroom from the ground up! Currently, my students have been sharing the same tin of 20 colored pencils amongst each other. The markers I purchased at the beginning of the year are officially dried up. They have not complained but I can see their desire to use more colors in their work. As 12-14 year olds, we have been working on many projects in the classroom with hopes to promote social skills, collaboration, and goos sportsmanship. After being away from school for a while, many students are struggling with making new friends and staying motivated in school.

Instead of lecturing and forcing students to take traditional and extensive notes and exams, I have opted for creative projects as a form of assessments.

Not only are students more motivated to participate but, they also find it easier to organize their thoughts using a color-coding system.

Color coding is a skill I hope my students take with them to high school, college, and beyond! Thank you for supporting my students' love for learning.
